Lecturer in Medical Sciences
I am a Lecturer in Medical Sciences and teach students MBChB Medicine. I am also a qualified non-practicing medical doctor. In 2021, I completed my PhD at the University of Sunderland where I focused on studying glioblastoma stem-like cell culture models.
Prior to my PhD, I worked for two years as a casualty medical officer and lecturer at a medical school in the pathology department. Having a clinical background, I am enthusiastic about supporting students in underpinning theoretical knowledge in clinical practice.
Teaching and supervision
I am currently a PBL tutor for Phase 1 students on MBChB Medicine, responsible for Unit 2 lead, and I provide pastoral support to students.
